NIP OF THE FROST.
Peaches, Melons and Vegetables
Badly Damaged.

TENNILLE, GA, March 19.-There was
heavy frost and ice here last night. The
late peach crop is badly damaged. The
early peach crop is not hurt. The result
of the injury to the fruit crop cannot be
determined in several days. Early vege-
tables are somewhat damaged, and in
some cases replanting is necessary. Re-
ports from Dublin to-day show a heavy
frost and ice, vita the same results.

OUR PUBLIC

Our schools have just closed for their
holiday vacation. The pupils have
shown no signs of being In need If rest;
for up to the last day all have worked
with a will and have been on time al.
most to n scholar. The record of tardi-
ness is excellent, and will compare
favorably with the record of any school
in the territory. The west side school
has two hundred and five pupils enrolled.
Out of this number but seven cases of
tardiness occurred in a month. The east
side school does nearly as well. The
difference is due to the fact that the
school bell cannot be hearda at all times.
When we consider that in the high
school alone. last year the number of
cases of tardiness was three hundred
and ffty-three for the first term, and
this year the for the same time it is but
twelve, the conclusion is apparent.
The schools opened with an enroll
ment Of two hundred and thirty.six.
The present enrolment is about three
hundred and twenty, at least fifteen
more will be in attendance after the
HOLIDAYS, This will make an average of
forty.eight to the ROOM. That number
ought to satisfy any teacher.
The above facts are conclusive that the
people of Bozeman appreciate the public
schools and have shown by their good
will as well as by their purse that they
do not consider the public schools a use.
less expense.
The only thing that will make a good
school is the hearty support of the pats
rons; for the best teachers must fail if
the good will ofthe patrons is wanting,-I
and this the patrons of the school have
baen giving.
Our public schools are fast regaining
the place they once occupied, and we
can again point with pride to our public
school system. The CHRONICLE has at
no time been layish in its praise of Prof.
Harmon and his efficient corps of teach.
ers. 1t has preferred to wait until the
term closed before it expressed its opin-

tions had been fully verified. At this
time. the closing of the first term. is a
proper time for us TO say that the schools

that our school trustees have per-
formed their arduous duties in a manner
reflects lasting credit to their judg.
ment, and that they have manifested an
interest in school work fully common

of the past term is indeed gratifying.
There have been no jars or wrangles,
and a great deal of good work has been
accumulated.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Secretary La

of the general land office hat the order
of December Is, 1887, directing that all
lands heretofore Withdrawn and held
for indemnity purposes under the grant
to railroads, mentioned in said order, be
restored to the public domain and open
ed to settlement and under general laws.
after giving the usual notice, he changed
and modified so that the land shall be
restored to the public domain upon the

The Bozeman CHRONICLE, in view OF
the high rates of insurance there, sug
gests that a local Insurance organ ization
be formed there. The same might well
be done in Deer Lodge, if rates are not
reduced. and the water c~ompany's pipes
are not disturbed by the winters frosts,
which seems improbable. Rates run
now to as high as ten per cent, and we
have not had a fire do any considerable
damage in the past fourteen or fifteen
year'. Prudent property owners desire
to insure, but the adjustment of rates is
properly deemed too high here. and
they are main tanned by an iron-clad pool
of the insurance companies. Several
railroad towns IN the northwestern terri.
tories have had heavy and repeated fires.
This brings our rates up, under the sys.
TEN adopted by the pool, to an exorbit.
ant figure to cover their losses, and there
is no evading them-it is put up or go
uninsured. The rates are Just as high
now as before the best water works in
Montana were put in. Unless there
shall be a radical revision soon, the best
investment CAPITALISTS can make is a local
company at reasonable rates,

ANOTHER oLD-TIMER DEAD.

-
William Fly, prosperous farmer and
stock grower of Gallatin county, at st.
Johns Hospital in Helena on the Goth.
His family went owe to Helena and
were IN attendance at his bedside.
The cause OF Mr.. Fly's illness is as
follows: About a month ago he sus-
tained abruise OF the little finger of one
of his hands, caused by a sudden wrench
given 1t by the halter of tho horse he
was leading. Although it panied him
considerably at the time he paid no at
tention to it, thinking it would soon
heal. Gradually the finger became swol-
len and rendered the hand useless. He
then came to Bozeman and consulted a
physician, who told him that the finger
must be amputated. Not liking to loose
the finger he tried to ave it by opening
it and allowing the collected matter to
discharge itself. Temporary relief was
obtained. hut the condition of the injured
went to Helena, and went under treat
ment at the Sisters Hospital, where DR..
| Morris alnputated the affected finger.
| The knife was used too late, however,
for gangrene had already set in. The
| poison spread and covered the arm and
reached the shoulder.
Mr.. Fly was one of Gallatin valleys
| pioneers, coming here after the outbreak
of the war. He enjoyed a wide anqnsint-
anship which extended all over the
territory. At home he was highly re-
spected and very popular. Ills death
occasioned a large vacancy in the line
I of early settlers who hewed the way for
this now comparatively thickly settled
valley.
His body was brought to his ranch and
there inferred on Thursday last, a large
number of friends from all parts of the
valley gathering to attend his funeral.

The Wee Presidency.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Mr. Dibble, OF
South Carolina, is going to reintrpduce
in the House his resolution for a con.
stitutional amendment to provide for a
Second Vice President. He is going to
press the matter, and expects to be able
to have the resolution adopted by this
Congress. He says:
Il figured it out at the last session.
That of eighteen different persons elected
directly u the presidential Office, four
have died before filling out their respec-
tive terms as President, three of them
during the first year of their term, and
the other during the second year. Out
Of twenty-five different persons elected
as Vice President, five died during their
terms of office, Ii of them resigned his
Office, and four became President. At
the close of the present presidential
term there will have been one hundred
years of government under the Constitu-
ton, and during that period there will
have been twenty-five years, eight
months and four days-over one. fourth
of the t~fme-when the country has had
no Vics President and this without
counting the short period in 1888, at the
beginning of our constitutional history,
when We were without a Vice President,
until John Adams assumed the duties of
that Office in that year. And in the last
forty years of the period named the office
of Vice President has been vacant eigh.
teen years, five months and five days,
or nearly one half of the time. This, to
my mind, shows how important it is that
a second Vice President should be pro-
vided for. 1t is quite startling TO think
how much of the time during the history
of our country we have been just on the
verge of chaos as to the Executive De.

MISREPRESENTATION.

The jewellery auctioneers, who were in
Bozcman two weeks ago, sold several
watches that they represented to be solid
gold. For these watches they got $35 90
or more. One which was examined by
our local jewellers was spurious, but its
like they had never seen before. In
view of this fact and as a solace to those
who were duped we append the follow
ing letter received bv Pease & Stefin's
last week, which describes the case in the
following words:
ANOTHER CASE OF PREpErERMINATtoS.
A watch case (6 size filed has made
its appearance called iThe C%onqueror.'
The guarantee in it does not say what
karat of is used in its construction.
We have carefully assaved it and find
that the gold in this case Is worth one
dollar and fifty-one cents. In stretching
$l.5l over 81 years it will get
